Throwback Amurican Boyz

The good thing is we didn't lose power. Another good thing is
that late
Saturday afternoon these three guys (aged 5-7 and 9) from down the street
came over, un-asked, and cut us a path to the street. Snowed all
night, but their
pathway was a piece of cake to finish next day.

That's refreshing to see, esp. after what I saw in my neighborhood. A neighbor has two boys, about 10 and 13, and I watched dad shovel out the driveway, while the boys stood around and played in the snow, in order to take the boys somewhere they wanted to go.Had to bite my tongue.Lt.

Tailgunner, that last one is the fault of the father, not just the kids.

No question that the kids should have at least pitched in (unasked) but since the boys wanted to go someplace the father should have put his foot down and told them that as a condition to his taking them wherever it was they wanted they had to help. .
